They serve as a cogent example of the ingenuity and resourcefulncss of our democracy, from whose roots they sprang and under whose sponsorship they have flourished and developed. The Land-Grant colleges are truly a product of the United States of America. It is a source of continuing pride that they stem from the grass-roots. draw their nurture from the soil, and return to their sponsors the citizens, a thousand-fold in benefit and services. As North Dakota's only Land-Grant institution our College came into being with the inception of North Dakota's statehood. For sixty-six productive years it's services have kept pace with the constant demand for increased scientific and technical information to be made available for the use of students and adults alike. The record is impressive and shows clearly that these services have been not only fruitful, but actually indispensable to those whom we ICIVB. The future ot' the College rec-ts largely in the hands of our stale government, to which we must look for the support essential to the on-going of all public institutions. On us, as students and staff and administration of the College, rests the undeniable responsibility of keeping the public informed regarding the objectives, aspirationsrand the myriad of activities which constitute the College program in education and research. The publication of this Bison Annual represents a valuable student contribution toward the fulfillment of this responsibility. Fred sun-lex Hultz President
